163: Chapter 163 Bubble Fish Demolishes Office
After soothing his sister's emotions.
Seeing that it was lunchtime, Li Yu decided to take his sister to the Canteen to eat before heading back, saving the trouble of cooking and washing dishes at home. Not only was it a waste of time, but the taste was not as good as the Canteen's master chef.
Li Meng raised both hands in agreement with this proposal, and even Chen Qing silently raised one hand.
In truth, Chen Qing preferred eating meals made by Li Yu or Li Meng. The taste didn't matter; as long as she could replenish her energy, it was fine.
Turning off the power, the four of them left the Cultivation Room.
Suddenly, an abnormal sensation arose in Li Yu's heart.
However, Spirit Diagram Armor was sleeping in the Beast Taming Space, and only Bubble Fish was alone in the office absorbing the wood-type monarch demon core.
Could it be it?
"What is wrong?" Chen Qing noticed Li Yu's reaction and asked.
Li Yu said, "I am going to the office. Zhou Ya, you take Mengmeng to the Canteen first and help me order a freshly made pickled fish, with less garlic."
After speaking, Li Yu left quickly, with Chen Qing following closely behind.
Arriving outside the office, he indeed heard "clang, clang" sounds from inside. The Breeders in the hall were either still busy, had already clocked out, or were too far away, so none of them heard the commotion inside.
Chen Qing frowned, one hand resting on the hilt of her sword.
Li Yu inserted the key and opened the office door.
The inside was a mess. The sofa was pockmarked, leaving dense, bowl-sized scars, and the desk had been cut into irregular shapes by some sharp blade, teetering on the verge of collapse.
As for his computer, it had swelled up from the inside, growing bright strawberries with green vines and red, ripe fruits.
Crackle... A sound of electric current emerged from the computer.
Besides that, the bookcase, chairs, and many other places had been destroyed—some cut, some shattered, some grown with flowers, strawberries, tomatoes... Whoa! And there was even a small peach tree?
Chen Qing looked stunned.
Li Yu also stood rooted to the spot, falling into a brief silence. His eyes met those of the Bubble Fish, which was uncontrollably belching Bubbles of various colors.
Big eyes stared at small eyes, and small eyes looked at big eyes.
"Why are you here?" "What is wrong with you?"
One person and one fish, similar questions appeared in their eyes.
"Glug, glug..." As the Bubble Fish spoke, it released a few more Bubbles. Most were transparent, but a few Black Light Bubbles were hidden among them, floating into the air.
Li Yu casually picked up a stack of A4 paper from the printer and swatted at the Bubbles.
When the Black Light touched the solid material, it broke through directly, leaving a bowl-sized hole in the paper before vanishing.
Li Yu sat on the sofa, and with a "rip" sound, it tore open a large hole. Li Yu sank right through, landing on the cold floor.
Chen Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Yu felt that Chen Qing was laughing.
It must be a hallucination.
Li Yu took a deep breath and said earnestly to the Bubble Fish, "Bubble, there's no one else here. Let's have a heart-to-heart. Tell me, is there something about me you're unhappy with? Just say it, and I'll change."
"Glug, glug... glug-glug?"
Bubble tilted its head, the sound interrupted for a moment, and the words it spoke next became, "Master, what do you need me for?"
"Beautiful! Its memory has refreshed." Li Yu slapped his thigh; for a moment, he couldn't even bring himself to be angry.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you destroy my office like this?" Li Yu asked, unwilling to give up.
The Bubble Fish glugged a few times, meaning, "Huh? How was the office destroyed?"
Fine. His hanging heart had finally died.
How is this a memory refresh? It's clearly cheating, isn't it?
"Forget it, come here, let me see clearly."
Li Yu waved his hand, letting the Bubble Fish approach, and then used High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand.
Under the Spirit Probing Hand, the Bubble Fish's body became transparent layer by layer. Finally, in the Bubble Fish's small head, Li Yu saw a few points of light.
They were very faint, as faint as starlight. Black, cyan, white. Three colors.
A flash of surprise crossed Li Yu's eyes, and he checked the Golden Scale Bubble Fish's attributes.
【Beast Name】: Golden Scale Bubble Fish
【Beast Quality】: Extraordinary (S+)
【Beast Level】: black iron Level 9
【Beast Attribute】: Water
【Beast Talent】: Golden Scale Bubble, Black Light Bubble
【Beast Introduction】: The mysterious Golden Scale Bubble Fish has initially dabbled in the Black Light, Cyan Light, and White Light of the Five-Colored Divine Light. It is said that once it masters a certain divine light, it can shed its fish form and enter the dragon lineage.
As expected... It had comprehended the White Light and consolidated the Cyan Light. It had mastered three colors of the Five-Colored Divine Light.
Li Yu looked at the teetering computer desk and at the shockingly neat cuts, understanding in his heart that this was the power of the White Light.
The Five-Colored Divine Light. Cyan governs Wood, representing life and vitality. It can save lives, heal wounds, and rejuvenate, which is why so many plants like strawberries and tomatoes appeared in the office.
Which jerk was eating strawberries and tomatoes here earlier? And peaches, too.
White governs Metal—the sharp Metal of the West. It is the representative of slaughter and iron laws, possessing terrifying cutting abilities. That was why his desk had such bad luck and suffered a slow, agonizing destruction.
As for the black color... this was what Li Yu found strange.
Normally, black governs Water. Water is soft and delicate, also implying a certain kind of vitality. Why was the Bubble's Black Light a type of destruction different from the White Light? Or even... erasure?
Li Yu couldn't figure it out; he always felt something had gone wrong somewhere.
He picked up his water cup, intending to take a sip, but the cup was empty; he drank nothing but disappointment.
"I'll go refill it." Chen Qing put down her sword, took the cup, and walked outside.
Both the person and the fish fell into silence. Over the past two days, the Bubble Fish had absorbed things very quickly. It had finished the wood-type monarch demon core and the demon cores sent by the Earth Battle Group.
It had comprehended three of the Five-Colored Divine Lights, leaving two more. It was time to spend money next.
Over these days, Li Yu had earned over four million through cultivation. As a Senior Cultivator, this amount wasn't much; of course, this had to do with the cultivation orders he accepted.
Others accepted orders based on the highest bidder. Li Yu was the exact opposite; he liked to fish for difficult, severely injured, dying, or destitute cases. These cultivations could earn him more cultivation value.
In addition to these four million in hard-earned fees, Vice General Liu also gave him a card worth ten million, a reward for him solving the blood toxin.
Over 14 million. If he used it all to buy demon cores, it should be enough for Bubble to comprehend the remaining two divine lights, right?
As soon as the thought arose, Li Yu suddenly slapped himself. Slap!
"I'm damned; I was actually thinking of spending my own hard-earned money."
The Bubble Fish looked at Li Yu in confusion, not understanding why its silly master was slapping his own face for no reason.
Li Yu rubbed his cheek and muttered, "If I want demon cores, I have to get them from outside. What kind of skill is it to buy them with my own money? But who should I look for? Extortion? Bamboozling? Or..."
Four words popped into Li Yu's mind. Earth Battle Group.
Anyway, they had already fallen out; it would be normal to get more demon cores from them, right?
"You're still here? I thought you went to watch the match." Supervisor Song walked in at some point and said, seeing Li Yu there.
"Watch the match? Watch what match?" Li Yu asked, confused.
Supervisor Song looked surprised: "You don't know? Your sister seems to be having a match against someone, right at the battle arena next to the Canteen."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yu "whooshed" and disappeared.
"Hiss—why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Supervisor Song rubbed his chin, looking like a great detective.
Chen Qing walked in with the water, and seeing Li Yu wasn't there, she frowned and asked, "Where is he?"
"Oh, Li Meng is having a match with someone, so he went over. He should be arriving at the Canteen by now."
"Then where is my sword?"
"Sword?" Supervisor Song asked, confused, and looked at the computer desk, where only an empty sword sheath remained.
"Damn it! I knew something was wrong... Father Li! Do not be impulsive!"
